i did a clean install on a computer i just built and it took several hours last night to do the blue screen install of setup files. then it took around 3 or 4 hours to do windows setup instalation. Then after it was all done, the computer cpu usage was hovering around 100%. so i thought maybe i should reinstall windows. Im reinstalling right now and win xp blue screen setup is going and its been 45 min and im only 34% done. Does this sound right to you?
 
i solved the problem. It was a bad dvd drive. The reader was messed up i supposed. I solved the problem by swapping out an older dvd drive and running the win xp installation. It took 10-15 min tops. Off and running. Rma'd the bad dvd drive back to newegg.

here are the specs...
